FOREWORD 

T  HAVE  been  asked  to  write  a  few  words  by  way  of  intro- 
"*■  duction  to  the  catalogue  of  the  library  of  my  dear  friend, 
Winston  H.  Hagen.  It  is  hardly  necessary  to  do  so,  as  the 
well  selected  and  beautifully  proportioned  character  o£  the 
collection  speaks  for  itself,  and  it  is  at  once  evident  to  the 
most  casual  observer  that  it  was  formed  by  one  intimately 
familiar  with  the  history  and  development  of  English  litera- 
ture. 

Mr.  Hagen  often  said  that  when  he  first  began  buying  rare 
books,  he  had  formed  a  plan  to  secure  a  small  but  important 
collection  which  should  consist  of  the  monumental  works  of 
the  leading  authors  from  Chaucer  to  the  present  day.  For  in- 
stance, a  First  Folio  Shakespeare,  1623 ;  Paradise  Lost,  1667 ; 
Burton's  Anatomy,  1621;  Pope's  Dunciad,  1728;  Goldsmith's 
Vicar  of  Wakefield,  1766,  and  so  on  until  he  should  cover  the 
development  of  our  literature  from  the  early  days  to  our  own 
time.  But  gradually,  while  still  pursuing  this  intelligent  plan, 
he  found  himself  from  time  to  time  enlarging  his  scope  here 
and  there  as  seemingly  unusual  opportunities  occurred  to  add 
treasures  that  he  found  too  attractive  to  resist.  So  almost  un- 
consciously he  found  himself  a  general  collector  of  all  English 
writers.  Hagen  was  a  collector  because  he  was  essentially  a 
book  lover  and  student  of  literature,  and  did  not  buy  simply 
to  add  a  rare  item  to  his  catalogue,  that  aside  from  its  rarity 
had  little  else  to  recommend  it.  And  so  it  has  developed  that, 
in  my  opinion,  a  better  planned  collection  within  its  well- 
defined  limits  has  never  been  dispersed  by  auction.  And  now 
this  splendid  result  of  a  lifetime  is  to  be  broken  up,  and  those 
cherished  volumes  are  to  find  other  homes  and  other  owners. 
Perhaps  it  is  better  so.  I  remember  the  late  Robert  Hoe 
returning  from  abroad  told  me  of  the  neglect  he  had  seen  in 
some  famous  libraries,  where  priceless  Caxtons  were  carelessly 
thrown  into  open  bin-like  shelves,  and  covered  with  grime  and 
dust,  permitted  to  lie  there  neglected  and  forgotten.  '*No," 
said  he,  ''rare  books  should  go  to  those  who  value  and  love 
them. ' '  This  is  no  doubt  the  reason  his  library  was  dispersed 
by  auction  and  not  bequeathed  to  an  institution. 

When  I  come  to  turn  over  hastily  the  proof  sheets  of  this 
collection,  I  am  struck  by  its  completeness.  Never  be- 
fore have  any  su£h^aolLectii)iis  of  the  works  of  Donne,  Dry- 


den,  Gray,  Milton,  Pope  and  others  been  offered  to  the  bids 
of  the  public.  If  I  were  asked  what  is  the  scarcest  item  in  the 
sale,  I  should  unhesitatingly  say  that  charming  little  volume 
containing  four  of  the  poems  of  John  Skelton,  Poet  Laureate 
to  King  Henry  VII.  Two  of  these  little  booklets  were  in  the 
Hoe  Library,  but  this  lot  of  four  from  the  Locker  Library  is 
probably  unique.  Mr.  Hagen  was  very  fond  of  the  Songs  and 
Sonnets  (Tottle's  Miscellany)  of  1574.  This  is  a  rare  book 
and  not  to  be  regarded  lightly.  But  why  point  out  the  gems 
in  this  cabinet  of  gems?  The  keen  collector,  the  eager  buyer 
will  recognize  and  note  them.  One  who  followed  with  some 
apprehension  Mr.  Hagen 's  continual  investment  in  books  said 
he  thought  he  would  do  better  to  purchase  good  bonds.  *  'No, ' ' 
said  Hagen,  ''my  books  are  worth  more  than  your  bonds.'* 
Let  us  hope  he  was  right ;  and  recent  events  in  the  stock  mar- 
ket would  seem  to  confirm  his  judgment. 

Beverly  Chew.

Person  of  Honour.  Folio,  half  crimson  levant  morocco,  gilt 
edges,  by  [The  Club  Bindery]. 

London :  Printed  for  Humphrey  Moseley,  1652 

An  exceptionally  large  and  choice  copy  of  the  First  Issue 
OF  the  First  Edition.  On  the  verso  of  sig.  a,  the  title  of  the 
play  was  evidently  printed  "The  Wild-CJiase";  this  has  been  cor- 
rected by  a  slip  with  the  proper  word  *' Goose"  printed  thereon,  and 
pasted  over  the  erroneously  printed  word.  Apparently  this  has 
escaped  the  notice  of  bibliographers.  This  is  the  Play  which  was  lost, 
and  consequently  could  not  be  included  in  the  1647  folio  edition  of

Illustrating  Coleridge's  keen  ear  for  rhythm  and  metre.

"The  Scriptures  tell  me,  dear  Wrangham,  that  Ingratitude  is 
morse  than  the  sin  of  Witchcraft;  that  I  might  not  therefore  be 
condemed  of  the  former,  I  must  plead  guilty  to  the  latter,  with 
this  distinction,  that,  instead  of  being  the  Wizard,  I  am  the  Be- 
witched. I  have  indeed  incautiously  drunk  too  deeply  from  the  bowl 
of  the  blameless  Circe.  The  sweet  intoxication  that  muJces  the  Heart 
forget  its  duties  and  its  cares.  I  give  you  liowever  but  little 
credit  for  your  conjecture — as  if  I  mistaTce  not,  you  drew  the 
Truth  from  the  well  of  your  own  Experience,"  etc.     A  fine  example.

The  Address  to  John  Scot  is  found  in  but  few  copies,  and  is  here 
in  manuscript.  It  is  not  a  part  of  the  collation,  the  book  being 
complete  without  it,  and  was  probably  added  to  certain  copies  pre- 
sented to  Scot.

A  very  interesting  letter,  containing  a  most  amusing,  though  very 
coarse,  account  of  a  journey  by  coach  from  Tichmarsh  to  London  in

the  occupants  of  the  coach  eventually  contrived  to  be  rid  of,  in  a 
very  curious  manner.  Dryden  letters  are  excessively  rare,  and  in 
addition  this  letter  has  a  special  interest  for  collections  of  coaching 
subjects,  being  one  of  the  very  few  accounts  known  of  such  journeys

London :  Printed  for  R.  Dodsley  in  Pall-Mall,  1751 

The  Excessively  Bare  First  Edition.  Has  the  word  "hidden" 
instead  of  ' '  kindred ' '  spirit,  in  the  fourth  line  of  page  ten,  peculiar 
to  the  earliest  issue,  and  the  other  misprinted  lines  which  occur. 
Several  corrections  have  been  written  on  margins  in  an  early  hand. 
The  Elegy  circulated  freely  among  Gray's  friends  for  some  time 
before  it  was  published,  which  was  finally  done  by  Dodsley  from  the 
manuscript  copy  given  by  the  poet  to  Horace  Walpole,  who  probably 
wrote  the  preface  signed  "The  Editor,"  designed  by  Gray  to  pre- 
serve his  anonymity.  He  received  no  remuneration  for '  the  Elegy, 
considering  it  beneath  a  gentleman's  dignity  to  accept  money  from 
a  bookseller,  and  in  this  view  the  bookseller  concurred.  Gray  says 
in  a  later  note  that  the  Elegy  was  "puhlish'd  in  Fehry  1751 
by  Dodsley,  4'  'went  thro'  four  editions  in  two  rnonths,  and  after- 
wards fifth,  6th,  7th,  8th,  4^  9th,  10th  .f  11th."  An  extraordinarily 
LARGE  COPY,  measuring  IQi/^  by  7%  inches;  very  considerably  larger

as  the  flags  are  flying  on  the  theatres  (Globe  and  Bear  Garden) 
which  were  closed  during  the  protectorate  period.

First  Edition.  Extremely  Bare.  An  exceptionally  fine  copy  of  a

The  Rare  First  Edition.  This  tract  was  omitted  from  all  the 
editions  of  Milton's  prose  works  until  that  of  1806,  for  the  reason

year  as  the  Latin  edition,  and  is  apparently  unknown  to  Bibliog-

^^  — '  First  Edition,  with  the  First  Title-page,  having  the  author's 

name  in  large  type.  A  very  fine  copy.  Mr.  Hagen  has  written  on 
the  fly-leaf  that  this  copy  was  "Bebound  from  original  calf  binding 
which  ivas  too  far  gone  to  repair."  In  the  process  of  binding  it  was 
seen  that  the  title-page  was  part  of  a  signature,  and  not  a  sep- 
arate LEAF  as  in  the  case  of  the  issue  with  the  ''Second"  title,  1667, 
which  would  seem  to  settle  the  priority  of  these  two  titles.  At  the 
back  of  the  volume  has  been  bound  in,  the  ' '  Fourth ' '  title-page,  with 
the  additional  matter  and  the  ''Errata,"  which  was  not  included 
in  the  genuine  first  issue.  The  genuine  blank  leaves  at  front  and 
end  are  present.  On  one  of  the  former  is  written  "Betty  Elsley,

back  restored  at  top,  in  green  levant  solander  case. 
London:  Printed,  and  are  to  be  sold  by  Peter  Parker,  1667 

First  Edition,  with  the  Second  Title-page.  Crisp  copy  in  the 
original  binding.  The  present  copy  shows  the  original  title-page  to 
have  been  cancelled,  with  the  stub  clearly  in  evidence,  and  the 
new  title  added,  with  the  name  of  the  author  in  small  caps.  The 
present  copy  contains  "The  Argument,"  "The  Verse"  and  the 
"Errata,"  notwithstanding  the  Grolier  Collation  (Wither  to  Prior) 
states  that  this  preliminary  matter  was  not  added  until  the  edition 
with  the  ' '  Fourth ' '  title-page.  The  Church  Catalogue  agrees  with 
the  Grolier  Catalogue  in  regard  to  these  preliminary  leaves,  not  only 
in  this,  but  also  in  the  following  issue,  and  copies  possessing  the 
ADDED  matter  ARE  UNUSUAL.  A  Comparison  of  the  "Errata"  in 
Second  and  Third  issues  (in  the  present  collection)  with  that  in  the 
Fourth,  shows  that  it  was  evidently  reset  in  the  latter  issue.  There 
is  a  curious  error  in  the  last  line  but  one  of  the  ' '  Errata, "  "  Lib.  2 ' ' 
being  misprinted  for  "Lib.  6."

I  engaging  in  the  publishing  business  I  have  promised  them  the  as- 

'  sistance  of  my  exquisite  judgement  in  maMng  a  little  pocTcet  edition 

of  fugitive  poetry,  which  I  shall  reckon  very  incomplete  without  a 
specimen  or  two  from  your  poems  and  those  of  Wordsworth  .  .  .  the 
little  ballad  called  'We  are  Seven'  and  another  called  Glen 
Almain.  ...  7  agree  entirely  with  you  that  Wordsivorth  lives  too 
much  for  the  lyre;  the  study  of  poetry  however  delightful  in  itself 
is  so  warped  ^  woven  in  with  the  desire  of  fame  that  it  engages  the 
student  too  far  in  pursuit  of  that  most  capricious  of  all  fantasms.'*

crowded  houses  while  Ben's  Volpone  and  ''subtill  alchemist" — the 
most  popular  of  all  dramatic  works  by  others  than  Shakespeare —

one  of  which  is  the  Grenville  copy,  nor  the  three  in  the  library 
of  Mr.  H.  C.  Folger.  Lowndes  probably  describes  a  copy  of  the

1125.  SHAKESPEAREANA.  Three  Portraits  by  George 
^^  H.  Hall,  the  well-known  American  Painter.  For  an  interest- 
ing account  of  him  and  his  work,  see  Clement's  '^American 
Painters  of  the  Nineteenth  Century."  He  was  a  student  and 
lover  of  Shakespeare,  and  painted  a  number  of  Shakespearean 
subjects.  In  the  late  eighties  he  conceived  the  idea  of  painting 
a  portrait  of  the  dramatist,  representing  him  in  a  moment 
of  inspiration  and  ready  to  transfer  thoughts  to  paper.  He 
was  then  in  Rome,  where  the  present  pictures  were  begun. 
After  the  completion  of  the  three  paintings  he  made  from 
them  (copying  No.  I  more  particularly)  a  large  portrait 
about  40  X  50  inches,  and  presented  it  to  the  Shakespeare 
Memorial  at  Stratford-on-Avon,  where  it  holds  a  prominent 
position.  Every  one  of  the  portraits  is  signed  by  the  artist, 
and  one  is  dated.  They  are  combined  in  one  frame,  and  were 
purchased  direct  from  the  estate  of  the  artist,  now  deceased.

husband  and  his  friendship  for  Edwin  Booth  to  The  Actors'  Fund 
Fair,  and  was  purchased  by  The  Players  Club  by  means  of  a  sub-

u,. 


publisher,  only  180  copies  were  issued,  and  it  is  known  that  Shelley 
cut  his  name  from  imprint  and  colophon,  from  as  many  copies  as  he 
could    reach. 

1128.  SHELLEY  (PERCY  BYSSHE).  Alastor;  or,  The

London:  Printed  for  Baldwin,  Cradock,  and  Joy,  1816 

Y^  — -  The  Extremely  Rare  First  Edition,  in  superb  condition.  This 
book  was  apparently  rare  as  early  as  1824,  for  Mrs.  Shelley,  in  the 
Preface  to  the  "Posthumous  Poems"  of  that  date  says:  ''I  have 
added  a  reprint  of  'Alastor,  or  the  Spirit  of  Solitude':  the  difficulty 
with  which  a  copy  can  be  obtained  is  the  cause  of  its  republication." 
With  the  D.  F.  Appleton  bookplate.

London:  Printed  for  Sherwood,  Neely,  &  Jones,  &c.,  1818 

First  Edition.  'Exceedingly  rare.  This  volume  was  immediately 
suppressed.  It  was  immediately  revised  and  re-issued  under  the 
title,  **The  Revolt  of  Islam,"  in  which  Cythna  is  described  as  an 
orphan  adopted  by  Laon 's  parents,  instead  of  as  his  sister,  as  in 
the  suppressed  book.  This  copy  has  the  preliminary  blank  with  the 
paper  label  pasted  on,  the  blank  leaf  following  title,  and  the  final  leaf 
of  errata.  A  beautiful,  uncut  copy,  from  the  Locker  Lampson  col-

Very  Fine  copy  of  the  extremely  Rare  First  Edition,  containing 
the  SCARCE  second  half  title  after  page  XXXII,  and  the  Leaf  of 
Errata. 

This  is  really  the  ''Laon  and  Cythna,"  with  a  new  title  and  a 
few  alterations,  which  Oilier,  the  publisher,  refused  to  sell  when  only 
a  few  copies  had  been  disposed  of. 

The  second  half-title  is  of  the  extremest  rarity  ;  indeed,  Bux- 
ton Forman  states  that  he  knew  of  only  two  copies  containing  it. 
The  leaf  of  ''errata"  is  precisely  the  same  as  that  in  ''Laon  and 
Cythna,"  calling  attention  to  errors  which  are  in  some  cases  cor- 
rected.

attributing  dates  to  these  Eichard  Kele  imprints,  but  as  he  had  his 
Press  '  *  in  the  Powltry  at  the  long  shop, ' '  only  from  1542  to  1546, 
the  assumption  that  they  are  of  the  years  intervening  is  clearly 
justified.  A  few  margins  are  very  slightly  stained,  the  outer 
margin  of  the  first  title  is  slightly  re-enforced,  and  corners  of  the 
last  two  leaves  have  been  restored.  With  the  Locker  bookplate.

He  congratulated  Moxon  on  his  marriage.  "7  learned  from  Mr. 
Lamb,  who  the  lady  is,  and  also  his  high  opinion  of  her  deserts." 
Tells  of  seeing  the  illustrations  for  the  forthcoming  poems  of 
Eogers.  ' '  There  does  not  seem  to  be  much  genuine  relish  for  poetical 
literature  in  Cumberland,  if  I  Tnay  judge  from  the  fact  that  not  a 
copy  of  my  poems  Imve  been  sold  there.  .  .  .  Byron  and  Scott  are  the 
only  POPULAB  writers  in  that  line,  perJmps  the  word  ought  rather 
to  be  FASHIONABLE  ivriters.  Pray  remember  me  very  affection-
